stormdogDespite being sick this past weekend, Moira got me up and about to accompany her on a (slow) walk through the thrift stores of the Milwaukee burbs. Not to mention a trip to American Science and Surplus for their tent sale! Woo! Thanks sweetie; though I know you probably couldn't tell through the coughing and wheezing, I had a really great time!
Now, I have lots of pictures of the creepy-scary Vault of the Barbies of Kristallnacht, but prior to that, here's a pictures of a prosthetic leg from a whole other thrift store.
I was a little weirded out by that. Even apart from the fact that, in my admittedly limited understanding, these need to be carefully sized, formed, and adjusted for any individual user to be able to use them with any grace and efficiency....
------------
On an unrelated note, the reason I often ignore problems that relate to systems from the legacy $company-we-merged-with side of things is that, when I do take them and email everyone asking for at least a pointer on where to go with them, I don't hear back. Ever. Gah.
Hello? Anybody out there? System X that the user wants access to actually exists, right? It's not vaporware? Certainly somebody must know how to set it up....
